Graffiti vandals tracked down by helicopter

Many Sunnyside residents were awoken in the early hours of Monday morning by a low-flying police helicopter.

The helicopter was flying over 42nd and Queens Blvd at 2:00am as police were pursuing three teenagers who were tagging the building above Dunkin’ Donuts.

The police tracked them down and arrested them at 41stand Queens Blvd at 2:30 am. The three—Jeffery Sanchez, Jonathan Aramis and Aileen Mahmoodi- were all charged with criminal mischief; making graffiti; and possession of a graffiti instrument, police said.

Dont pop the champagne just yet. If they were minors, they were probably turned over to their parents until their court date. If they are adults, they have probably already been released by some bleeding heart judge. They will be back on the roofs tonight.

It may seem extreme, but Sunnyside/Woodside got bombed with tags in the last three weeks. If this is a different crew, I at least hope taggers now understand that we won't tolerate it and will move elsewhere.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
